Dinner table conversations, heart-to-heart over cups of coffee or sharing a bar of chocolate with someone; food brings people together. Whether foodie or not, every family’s discussions vastly revolve around food. The woman (or man) of the house caters to everyone’s choices and still manages the perfect balance between taste and health for everyone.

While everyone is allowed their preferences I’ve often seen foodies being loggerheads with each other over innovations in food. For some, traditional recipes are sanctimonious while others believe infusing different flavours and creating new ones. I belong to the second category. Going beyond tried-and-tested recipes gives me a rush and I’m glad my family welcomes it wholeheartedly.

Accidents, like a necessity, are sometimes the mother of invention too. One day I was scratching my brain hard to plan a dessert after what was to be a hearty dinner. My son wanted Raspberry custard while I was keen on rounding off the vermicelli that had been lying unused in my kitchen for a long time.

A quick glance in the refrigerator and I realised that I had apples and pomegranate seeds too. My mind furiously got to work and within moments I had the recipe for Vermicelli custard figured out! If you have a sweet tooth I’m sure you’ll love it. I’m sharing it with you here.
